1. An image display system comprising:
(a) a first support structure capable of defining a first curved surface;
(b) a control unit;
(c) an image display screen comprising at least one light emitting display screen component;
(d) the at least one light emitting display screen component having a plurality of light sources arranged in a matrix format, wherein each of the plurality of light sources comprises at least one light emitting circuit module and is modulated using one or more control signals provided from the control unit;
(e) wherein the image display screen is attached to the support structure at a plurality of locations;
(f) wherein the at least one display screen component has a default state in which the image display screen has a first curve, and a first curved state in which the first support structure causes the at least one light emitting display screen component have a second curve to conform to the first curved surface of the first support structure, the second curve having a curvature that is greater than the first curve;
(g) wherein the image display system is operable to display an image when the image display system is conformed to the curved surface, and
(h) wherein the plurality of light sources have a front face defining the image display screen, a rear face opposite the front face, and one or more beveled edges between the front face and the rear face.
